I knew nothing of these events. I stood in front of a row of dresses, feeling all kinds of conflicted as I sift through them. My aunt had arranged a fiance for me, but we’d never met since my arrival in England. My health had been poor, requiring an extended period of recuperation. Sure, my fiance had sent gifts and had people check on me, but this is the first time we’re actually meeting face to face. I’d seen his photo, but knew nothing of his personality. So, I was determined to make a good 

impression

To play it safe, I chose a sleeveless, offtheshoulder Aline midi dress in a soft pink, accentuating my gentle demeanor. My long hair was meticulously styled, adorned with a simple jade

As I walk through the door that the messenger opened for spot the man rising to greet me by the castle’s floortoceiling windows. If Julian was like the cold depths of an abyss, then William was the warm sun of spring
